Enfocus has released PitStop FontFix, the new Adobe Acrobat Pro and Standard plug-in that checks and replaces fonts missing from PDF files. 

PDF is a popular file format used by a wide range of markets worldwide, including graphic arts, government, corporate, office, financial and medical.  Enfocus has announced that it is making the Font Fix solution available to customers for free. 

As PDF files have grown in popularity, so has the problem of missing fonts. Users in all of these markets experience the challenge that comes from managing a PDF file that is missing correct fonts. 

PitStop Font Fix is the result of an agreement between Enfocus and Monotype, a global provider of typefaces, technology and expertise. With the new PitStop Font Fix plug-in, users can check their PDFs for missing fonts and make simple corrections. If fonts are missing, users can  embed them from fonts available on their computer system, or by downloading them from Monotype Baseline, a cloud-based font library.

Once users have installed the plug-in and registered for a free Monotype Baseline account, they can embed as many local system fonts as they want. By creating an account on the Monotype Baseline platform, users get access to a massive font library. This Monotype library holds over 60,000 fonts of various types, including Adobe Type 1 fonts.
